Did I ruin my Stardust?

[Alyk]

I just got my Stardusts about a week ago and love them, but I'm afraid I might have broken one this morning. I have had some juice in the mouth here and there, so I've been being extra careful to make sure to dry off that white "stopper" that the tip/mouthpiece seals onto when you put it back on, after refilling the stardust. I've been using a q-tip to do this, and I do know that the q-tip is a bit too wide and sort of pressed on the center post, but I thought it was strong enough. This morning when I dried the stopper, I felt the center post give a little. It only seemed slightly loose afterwards, and I'm not exactly sure how sturdy it had been to begin with. I'm afraid of breaking my other stardusts by checking if they wobble at all, lol.

Anyways, sorry to ramble. It seemed to vape fine on my ride to work, then suddently I got a dry/burnt tasting hit. Did I kill it? The wick was definitely wet, fyi.

It sounds like you're talking about the cone sticking up from the white condom cover. If so, that's not actually the post, it's a little cone attached to a flat washer on top of the main post. It's held in place by the rubber cap, so there is naturally going to be a little give to it.
